An identical dish to this was famously in the collection of Alexander Hamilton (1755 – 1804), one of the founding fathers of the USA, and immortalised in the 2015 Broadway musical Hamilton. The Hamilton dish is illustrated in Jean McClure Mudge, Chinese Export Porcelain in North America, 1986, cat no 246, p 158, and has been loaned to the Museum of the City of New York by the estate of John Church Hamilton.
